This recipe combines two of my favorite food items: barbecue sauce and grits. Unfortunately it's one of those recipes I just wasn't able to photograph as well as I'd like, but it is delicious!

Seriously, they were always watery and flavorless. Yuck. Bad grits everywhere meant that I was more likely to win the lottery than find good shrimp and… Continue reading Shrimp & Grits with Andouille Sausage
